Article Type: Original Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

Dimensional characteristics of asbestiform amosite and non-asbestiform grunerite were used in this study. The Rasmuson-Roggli method was utilized to predict average lung fiber concentration based on cumulative exposure. The Deposition Selection Ratio (DSR), which is a function of length and width of fibers, was estimated from dimensional data in human lungs, as a correction factor to average exposure....
